All Encompassing Power of the Gospel

I find it amazingly humbling just how the Gospel is able to reach out to all corners of the world and touch the hearts of so many people. And the most amazing thing is seeing the Gospel at work with people who have so much less than we do, people who we would call "less fortunate than us."

Seeing the Gospel at work here in the city of Clorinda, Argentina, is simply amazing because of the situations from which many of the people that we are working with are coming from. These people have nothing. If you have heard me describe the favellas in Sao Paulo, the poverty is similar to that except in more of a suburban layout.


And in this place it is evident that the Gospel is moving. Today I went out into the city with three others, one a student, one an American translator, and one a local, and with the three of them we went around and shared the love and beauty of the Gospel. And in this, I used my story in faith to show the ability of God to have an effect in my life, which is then applied to their life.


It is simply awe inspiring! To see others who love God with all their hearts, or in some cases they may have never heard of the Gospel, and through my experiences I am able to show these people the beauty of the Gospel and how it applies to them.

And that is the beauty of the Gospel and the Great Commission which we are called to follow. That we are able to go into the world and bring the good news of the Gospel to people who have never heard it before it something that is simply amazing and brings joy to anyone who is able to go out and do it.

You hear that?

Do it.
